Why choose an INNSA member?

The seminar will explain why treatment of Japanese Knotweed can take several years and how important it is that a programme of remediation is professionally tailored for each property. Many lending institutions impose conditions on providing loans and mortgages on properties where Japanese Knotweed is present (or even present on neighbouring properties). Ensuring that remediation programmes carry insurance backed warranties is essential.
